Not that I've gone by that moniker for a whole year now, but now it doesn't even work as a play on my real name. As of today both the Social Security Administration and the DMV know me as Jean Bauhaus (that's bow, as in "take a ..." + house, if you were wondering). I don't think it gets any more official than that.
It's very weird, and still feels weird to say, let alone to write; but I never really loved my maiden name, so I have no qualms about changing it. I might still write under my maiden name, or using a hyphenation, assuming I ever get published, but by the time I get to that bridge I'll probably be so used to the new name that it won't even be a consideration. But then again, if I don't use my maiden name then how else is everyone I went to high school with supposed to know that that famous best-selling author is me? Insert winky smiley here.
Now all I have to do is change my name on every single account I have....
